Annotate Drawings

Topics in this section

• Work with Annotations

  When you annotate your drawings, you can use certain tools and properties to make working with annotations easier.

• Hatches, Fills, and Wipeouts

  Use hatch patterns, a solid fills, or gradient fills to cover an area. Use wipeout objects to blank out areas.

• Notes and Labels

  You can create and modify several types of text, including text with leaders. You can control most text style settings by defining text styles.

• Tables

  A table is a rectangular array of cells that contain annotation, primarily text but also multiple blocks.

• Dimensions and Tolerances

  You can add measurements to your drawing with several dimensioning commands. Use dimension styles to format dimensions quickly and maintain industry or project dimensioning standards.
